The Timberwolves had full control for nearly 35 minutes of Game 3 of its first-round series against Memphis on Thursday.
Minnesota big man Karl-Anthony Towns, who was mic’d up during the game, was exceedingly confident and all smiles when his team led 51–34 with less than four minutes to play before halftime. Towns made a statement early in the game that would he would later have to backtrack.
“Yeah, we in Minnesota now… Like I said to the media.. we got to come back to our house now. I’ve only seen them [the Grizzlies] at their house,” Towns said.
